<![CDATA[With staycations all the rage these days, we've decided to take a look at some of the best places in the U.S. for quick, close-to-home trips. Up first is Carmel-by-the-Sea, a small yet upscale town on the Monterey Peninsula. Known for its devotion to the arts and its celeb residents (Clint Eastwood was once mayor here), Carmel is also home to small hotels and inns galore. Enjoy.<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1425/ticklepinkinn.jpg" class="imgborder"><a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/maps/Carmel-Hotels-Guide"><img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1425/carmel_map.jpg" align="right"></a>With a name like <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Tickle+Pink+Inn/local/555">Tickle Pink Inn</a>, it seems hard to take this place seriously.

Maui, the second biggest island in Hawaii and the most touristy, has its share of monster resorts, expensive, over-the-top luau magnets and villas. So when we heard about Paia Inn, a little cool outpost on the island's North Shore, we thought, oh yeah!

This is a quiet, boutique inn on the North Shore's Hana Highway. Five suite rooms sit smack on the beach and away from the craziness of those gigantic resorts. The rooms have flat-screened TVs, bamboo floors, and funky artwork, plus a boutique and an art gallery right on site.
